NOTICE:
The Bow-Mount Stabilizer Bracket can be
installed on the left or right side of the Steering Module.
When mounting the bracket onto the Ultrex, the two Nylock
Nuts (Item #16) are discarded because the bolts are
secured directly into the Steering Module.
The Bow-Mount Stabilizer Bracket is used to stabilize the Steering Module and reduce bouncing when the motor is stowed and
transported. Attention to detail is needed for successful installation of the stabilizer. We recommend to have the stabilizer bracket
installed by a qualified marine installer.

CAUTION
Wires and plug must not touch moving parts. Wires may be
damaged if caught in moving parts.
Placing the Bow-Mount Stabilizer
CAUTION
Adjusting the Aluminum Rod too tightly removes the end play needed for proper latch pin engagement and doing so could prevent
the mount from fully latching in the stowed position. Improper latching may cause damage. If installed correctly, the tip of the
Aluminum Rod should lift off of the boat deck about 1/4” without the mount unlatching. Cutting the Aluminum Rod too short will
cause inadequate support of the mount. Lack of mount support may cause damage.

s. Orientate the wires connecting the Steering Motor
Connection Plug as noted so that the wires do not
touch moving parts.
t. Replace the Connector Cover.
